Singing news is a popular song in eastern Zhejiang, especially in Fenghua, Beilun, Zhenhai, Yinzhou and Xiangshan. Singing news has a long history, dating back more than a hundred years. In the Southern Song Dynasty, blind people sang "morning reports" (official news), which later evolved into singing social news. The content of the news is mostly ancient and modern stories and popular tunes circulating in the streets and alleys of the local area, and is sung in local dialects and slang. When singing, the artist holds a drumstick and a gong piece in his right hand, a small gong in his left hand, and a small drum on his knees. While singing, he rhythmically hits the drum shell or small gong with a drumstick or gong piece. The singing forms include: 1. Singing at the door, that is, singing a few songs at the door, similar to begging; 2. Singing in the courtyard, singing a paragraph or a scene in the public courtyard, and collecting some money; 3. Singing on the boat, which is more popular in the water network area, singing on the boat day and night; 4. Singing on the lantern, singing at temple fairs and markets; 5. Singing in the venue, this is a relatively high level of folk artists who can sing big books, and they go to the bookstore to sing, but there are not many of them.
